Our Adoption Process:

Adopting families are counseled by a B.U.N.S. volunteer. We help you to select a pet that will fit into your home and life style. After adoption, B.U.N.S. provides ongoing information on care. B.U.N.S. has brochures on rabbit and guinea pig care. A phone hotline provides access to a knowledgeable volunteer. Adopting families receive a newsletter with care information. We offer a monthly class, Basic Bunny and Guinea Pig, that covers husbandry, handling and training. Go to www.bunssb.org to subscribe to the newsletter or check class dates and times.

Our Adopted Pets:

rabbits and small animals can make wonderful pets, and rather than buying a rabbit and small animal for sale or finding a rabbit and small animal breeder, adopting a rabbit and small animal from
an animal shelter or rescue organization is the perfect way to add a rabbit and small animal to your family.
Keep in mind, there is a lot you will need to know when you provide a home for
a rabbit and small animal. You will need to learn what to feed them, how much exercise or
attention your rabbit and small animal needs, and many other important things about how to
house and care for a rabbit and small animal. There are different types of rabbits and small animals
.
